    Nightmare Alley
    Cruel and elegant, del Toro’s nightmares remain worlds apart from the pack.

    The 355
    The cast commit, but The 355 is no lucky number for Kinberg, who only delivers diminished returns on spy-thriller genre conventions.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Encanto
    Recasting studio formula in fresh, dazzling shapes and shades, Encanto is high-tier modern Disney.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    Red Notice
    The leads deliver to order in this flimsy but playful frolic. A tankful of banter keeps the engine ticking nicely.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    A Quiet Place Part II
    Between Simmonds’ superb lead, the suspense, the slivers of hope, A Quiet Place Part II is worth making a noise for. Just pipe down in the cinema.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Raya and the Last Dragon
    It might not venture into the unknown, but Raya takes spirited wing.
    • 84 Metascore

    Judas and the Black Messiah
    Between its genre know-how and furious anger, King’s biopic makes damn sure you feel the weight of Hampton’s loss – and the need for his legacy to be honoured.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Kevin Harley
    Soul
    Moving ever-onward from the sequels years, Pixar gets right back in the zone with Soul. Deep, witty, and fast on its jazz-loving feet, it doesn’t miss a beat.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    Bill & Ted Face the Music
    A last, cheering hurrah from two dudes.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Harley
    Project Power
    There’s a chemical imbalance here… Netflix’s super-drug thriller is less than addictive.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Harley
    The Old Guard
    Even an axe-swinging Charlize Theron struggles to wallop much life – endless or otherwise - into Gina Prince-Bythewood’s comic-book riff, a derivative fantasy-actioner so laggy it puts you right off immortality.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    The Invisible Man
    With Moss’ brilliance in full view, Whannell’s taut exercise in suspense gives Universal’s monsters a jolt of life.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Kevin Harley
    Uncut Gems
    Adam Sandler is off-the-scale good in the Safdies’ latest: a scuzzy shot of adrenaline into the crime pic’s heart.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    Charlie's Angels
    Sometimes fun, sometimes flatly awkward.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Harley
    Dark Phoenix
    Despite mostly sparky cast-work, the Phoenix never quite rises as hoped in Kinberg’s affectionate but often perfunctory X-Men send-off.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
    Between its orgiastic carnage, orgasmic colours and very good dogs, Wick’s return gives hyper-stimulated action cinema a good name.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Us
    Peele doubles down on his genre love with a flawed but full-bore frightener, ripe for debate. Nyong’o is incendiary.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Green Book
    When the sentiment threatens to turn gloopy, Ali and Mortensen’s terrific leads steer Farrelly back on-track.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Bumblebee
    Despite the odd awkward tonal gear shift, Knight’s origin story makes refreshingly light work of its uphill climb, fuelled by wit and warmth. And – crucially – with better songs on the retro-tape deck.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Harley
    The Nun
    Too rackety and hackneyed to scare, The Nun groans next to the likes of Hereditary. Only the moody, menacing abbey inspires the right levels of belief.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    Deadpool 2
    This is the rare comedy sequel that doesn’t just equal the original: it betters it, with bells and ball-sacks on.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    Lu Over the Wall
    The end-stretch is overlong, but the Flash animation style pops with colour, the music is fun, and off-the-scale creature cuteness abounds.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    The Cured
    Over-ambitious perhaps, but Freyne’s intensely executed ‘infected’ fable packs tension, resonance, and clout.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    A Wrinkle in Time
    Reid’s a fine lead, but DuVernay’s usually firm footing wobbles in the CGI clouds of Disney fantasy.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
    Despite the candid vérité stylings, art-dance powerhouse Grace Jones remains a magnetic enigma in Sophie Fiennes’ docu-study.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Kevin Harley
    A Fantastic Woman
    Defiant, determined, Vega delivers a star-making performance in a drama of embattled grief, directed with heart.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Harley
    The Chamber
    Aiming straight for mounting dread, Parker gets the job done aggressively.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 100 Kevin Harley
    The Shape of Water
    Del Toro’s Valentine to boundary-crossing love pours from the screen in ravishing torrents of feeling and style. And Hawkins is sublime.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 100 Kevin Harley
    Phantom Thread
    Anderson crafts another classic of obsession and strange love, played by dynamite leads: Day-Lewis retires in style, Krieps is revelatory.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Kevin Harley
    All the Money in the World
    Scott steers his ideas-rich, character-based thriller with brisk authority. Plummer and Williams bring their all.
